House Music Compilations

CLASSIC SELECTION:

To continue on with the theme of the underground house scene, it is time to highlight a few classic vinyl packs. Yes, these packs are for the old school house lovers! BUT, they continue to rock dance floors to this day!

So many music lovers out there crave to throw their hands for the sounds of the early days. It’s not always the new and crispy sounds of tomorrow.  As a dj or producer it’s up to us to keep them in our bag or repertoire of tricks.

United DJ’s of America:

This label made a smash with hit after hit, and release the triple pack vinyl’s along with compact disc. United DJ’s of America was still in the era of the cassette but strong enough to work early nineties dance floors. The first compilation was released in 1994. They were all DJ sets or compilations from upcoming artists that soon became legends.

Nearly all of them were top choice artists. From Doc Martin, Josh Wink, Mark Farina, David Morales, Frankie Bones, Kimbal Collins and others. These compilations are extremely rare on vinyl. The selections are nearly all out of print even when they were being re-released, thus making each pack so hard to find.

Imagine a tune so rare, that finding it on digital is nearly impossible in top quality. That tune is even more rare on vinyl. Even when they were released they flew off the shelves and didn’t come back around. Instant crowd pleasers if you can find one of these on CD or vinyl (for those that really know a lot about the music history).

MIXER:

Did you know that the magazine mixer was putting out those compilation DJ sets? United DJ’s of America and Mixer are affiliated, thus the Mixer CD compilations were also well laid out.

Mixer is a magazine that had the proper affiliations to the producers and DJ’s of an era to lead a new generation of music. If you are an enthusiast that is fond of classic hits, look for the label and magazine to lead you back to the hits. They only lasted for 10 years of albums or so.

Some of these early productions have spawned carriers for the early DJ’s and producers that now make them tens of thousands of dollars for a quick hour live set. Some of them in the 100’s of thousands for an hour set. Teach your friends that these magazines put out some of the first ever legal DJ mixes!  

In conclusion - hunt for these classics and put them in your sets! It shows you are a true conasouer and have a little old school flavor! House music will never die!
